Alumni association

The ҹɬƵ University Alumni Association is a dynamic, member-focused organization that aims to enrich the alumni experience and build the profile of its members and ҹɬƵ University.

ҹɬƵ University alumni have been untraditional since 1887 – and that’s just the way we like it.

As a ҹɬƵ alum, you are fiercely independent, and you don’t worry about fitting in. “Go along to get along” isn’t your style – never has been, never will be.
You see things differently, and you’re willing to stand up for the things that matter to you and to your community.
Head, heart, hand – making art is a whole-body experience.
You are an individual, not afraid to think, act, or be anything but yourself. You appreciate the company of others who question the status quo and imagine new possibilities.
ҹɬƵ University is not a collection of buildings and studios. It’s people – past, present and future.

You are ҹɬƵ, and you belong here.

Life After ҹɬƵ

“ҹɬƵ changed my life. It’s where I learned to express myself.”
